  • Catalogue Prairie College
    2018-2019 2019-2020 Catalogue Prairie College Note: the information in this catalogue is current as of its publication date. Updated information can be found here (academic programs), here (student fees and aid), and here (academic policies). 1 Prairie Academic Catalogue FROM OUR PRESIDENT L. E. Maxwell, Prairie’s co-founder and my grandfather, shared that “none of us dreamed what God was going to do out here on these barren prairies.” In truth, no one could have dreamed that over the years 17,000 students would leave this place prepared to serve God in 114 countries around the world. With a 95-year history, it is amazing to reflect on what God has done through this place, but it is equally encouraging to see what He is doing today. I have been energized by conversations with our current students. Here are just a few of their comments: “I’m learning so much from God’s Word. I have grown hugely in my walk with God.” “The faculty cares! Bible classes are among Prairie’s biggest strengths.” “I’m just happy you guys gave me an extra chance…” “This year has gone too fast. I don’t want to leave...” “Thank you for the Bible.” (Every student receives a Bible as a gift, symbolic of our commitment to holistic Bible teaching.) Training for Service to meet the Greatest Needs in the World... I thank God that as students encounter the whole text of Scripture, and interact with staff and faculty, lives are being transformed! Our desire is that all Prairie College students will be prepared to address the greatest needs around them with confidence and hope.

  • Transferability
    Registrar's Office TRANSFERABILITY You may be able to transfer Prairie credits to other institutions to further your education. Many institutions in Canada and the US give varying numbers of transfer credits for courses completed here. Prairie is accredited through the Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE). This opens transfer doors for students going to other ABHE schools, and it often has a favourable influence on schools outside ABHE. Our transcripts show that we are ABHE accredited. You may also wish to mention this when you submit your transcripts. Prairie is also a member of the Alberta Council on Admissions and transfer (ACAT), and has had a limited number of courses accepted for automatic transfer to various institutions in the province. See http://alis.alberta.ca/ps/ep/aas/ta/transferalberta.html for more information. These and other institutions in Alberta may give transfer credit for courses not listed with ACAT. Graduates of Prairie College have been accepted at seminaries and graduate schools such as Regent College, the University of Edinburgh, Trinity Western University, Yale Divinity School, Duke University, and Tyndale Seminary. Many seminaries give advanced standing to graduates from our Bible and ministry programs. We have an agreement with Carey Theological College which enables graduates on some PC programs to complete their Master of Divinity at Carey in two years instead of the usual three. It is the receiving institution that makes the decision on transfer of Prairie courses. Please contact other institutions directly to receive their policies. Note that transfer is usually given for comparable subject matter completed with a grade at or above a specified minimum.

  • The Case for Christian Higher Education
    COUNCIL FOR CHRISTIAN COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES THE CASE FOR CHRISTIAN HIGHER EDUCATION 1 | THE CASE FOR CHRISTIAN HIGHER EDUCATION ADVANCING FAITH AND INTELLECT FOR THE COMMON GOOD 2 | THE CASE FOR CHRISTIAN HIGHER EDUCATION ADVANCING FAITH AND INTELLECT FOR THE COMMON GOOD The Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU) is a higher education association of more than 180 Christian institutions around the world. The CCCU’s mission is to advance the cause of Christ-centered higher education and to help our institutions transform lives by faithfully relating scholarship and service to biblical truth. The institutions of the CCCU share three basic commitments: First, we integrate biblical truth not just into “spiritual” aspects of the institution but throughout the academic enterprise. Our professors pursue academic excellence because they are committed to God as the author of truth, and that truth has implications for every academic discipline. The classroom and the laboratory are just as much arenas of Christian integration as the college chapel. Second, we are committed to the moral and spiritual formation of students. Education that instructs the mind without deepening the soul is not true learning. Our schools seek to develop students who, in the words of the Old Testament prophet, “act justly and love mercy and walk humbly with their God” (Micah 6:8). This requires not simply professional competence but wisdom, which is a sense of things in their proper relationship and a love for the right things. Our purpose is to form students of moral commitment who live out Christian virtues such as love, courage, and humility.
